Purchase Exposition, 

Made by Act of Congress March 3, 1903. 



ISTRICT OF ALASKA EXHIBIT: 

To enable the inhabitants of the District 
of Alaska to provide and maintain an 
appropriate and creditable exhibit of the 
products and resources of that District at the 
Louisiana Purchase Exposition in the city of Saint 
Louis, Missouri, in nineteen hundred and four, and 
to erect and maintain on the site of said Exposition 
a suitable building to be used for the purpose of 
exhibiting the products and resources of said Dis¬ 
trict, the sum' of fifty thousand dollars, to be 
subject to the order of the Secretary of the 
Interior, who is hereby authorized to expend 
the same in such manner as in his judgment will 
best promote the objects for which said sum is 
appropriated, in accordance with the rules and 
regulations to be prescribed by him.”

be expended by the Secretary of the Interior in such manner as in his 
judgment would promote the objects for which the sum was appropri¬ 
ated, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by him, one 














vi Officials and Assistants for the Alaska Exhibit. 

of his first acts was the appointment of Honorable Thomas Ryan, First 
Assistant Secretary of the Interior, Chairman of the Alaska Com¬ 
mission, to have immediate charge at the Department of the elaboration 
of the exhibit. 

Later, Governor John G. Brady was appointed Executive Com¬ 
missioner, and entered upon the task of gathering together and for¬ 
warding to the Exposition such a collection of exhibits as would best 
represent and illustrate the products and resources of Alaska. 

Still later, Mr. Joseph B. Marvin was appointed Special Agent of 
the Alaska Exhibit, and was sent to St. Louis in December, 1903^ 
to superintend the construction of the Alaska Building, to attend to 
all accounts with the department and to arrange for the installation 
of the exhibits as they arrived. 

Mrs. Mary E. Hart was employed January ist, 1904, to assist in 
the securing of exhibits in Alaska, especially in the Department of 
Education, and upon the opening of the Exposition Mrs. Hart was 
directed to proceed to St. Louis, where she was designated as Hostess 
and placed in charge of the Bureau of Information in the Alaska 
Building. 

At the same time attendants were selected whose duty it was to 
explain the exhibits to visitors. This arrangement as to attendants 
has proved very satisfactory to the Commission, as the Alaska Building 
has attained the distinction of being one of the places in the Exposition 
where visitors may be sure of receiving courteous attention and in¬ 
telligent replies to all their inquiries. 

The Executive Commissioner, the Honorary Commissioners, the 
Hostess, all of the attendants, and those employed in collecting exhibits 
in Alaska were all Alaskans, the attendants being especially selected 
because of their acquaintance with Alaska and its products. The 
wisdom of these selections has been confirmed, as, being Alaskans, they 
have performed their duties with zeal and pride in their adopted 
country. 

It has been the desire of the Executive Commissioner that the 
utmost hospitality should be shown to all visitors at the Alaska Building, 
and the commodious and home-like parlors on the second floor of the 
building have been free to the public, maids being employed for special 
attention to the wants of ladies and children. The Commission is 
gratified at the evidences given that this courtesy has been fully ap¬ 
preciated by the many thousands who have visited the Alaska Exhibit. 


PREFACE. 


In authorizin^S^ the publication of a catalogue of the Alaska Exhibit 
at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, the Commission for the Alaska 
Exhibit has been influenced by the desire to continue the educational 
influence as to Alaska afforded by the Alaska Exhibit, and to add ^ 
somewhat to the literature relating to Alaska. 

The Alaska Exhibit has been an object lesson, and a surprise to 
such of the visitors at the World’s Fair as have supposed that Alaska 
was a frigid region and incapable of development. It has demonstrated 
the fact, by its display of grain and vegetables and fruits, that the 
pioneer to Alaska will not be dependent upon his success in finding 
gold, but that, availing himself of the Homestead Laws, and securing 
320 acres of land, he can always resort to agriculture with satisfactory 
results. 

To those who desire further information regarding Alaska than 
this pamphlet affords, the Commission has to suggest that it may always 
be obtained by application to members of Congress, who will be able, 
upon request, to supply reports from the Department of Agriculture, 
and the Geological Survey, and the Signal Service Bureau of the 
United States, containing very valuable information relating to Alaska. 

The Commision further mentions that a very instructive pamphlet 
entitled “Facts on Alaska,” will be freely furnished upon request at 
the Alaska Building during the remaining period of the Exposition.

FOREWORD 



FOREWORD. 


ALASKA AND THE ALASKAN EXHIBIT. 

ITE District of Alaska appears as an exhibitor in a National 
Exposition for the first time. The conception of the Lonis- 
iana Purchase Exposition and its plans were presented for 
the consideration of the Congress of the United States at 
a time when the reports of committees of Congressmen 
sent to Alaska to investigate its resources and needs had 
aroused the Congress to the duty of enacting legislation for 
the development of this great region. In appropriating the sum 
of ^50,000 for an Alaskan building and an Alaskan exhibit at the 
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, it was the purpose of the Congress to 
afford an object lesson as a means of education to the millions of people 
who should attend the Exposition, as to the extent and resources of this 
territory. The sequel has shown that the money was wisely ex¬ 
pended, as the Alaskan exhibit, at the expiration of five months, since 
the Exposition was opened, has the distinction of being regarded by 
thousands of its visitors, as forming one of the most interesting and 
instructive and surprising exhibits shown at the great World’s Pair. 

When the United States, thirty-seven years ago, paid to Russia 
the sum of $7,200,000 for the almost unknown territory of Alaska, the 
purchase was not popularly approved, and even members of Congress 
denounced lit, regarding the acquisition as a region of icebergs and 
glaciers. Later, when gold was discovered in Alaska, the region was 
popularly regarded as being one of ice and of almost inaccessible gold, 
and few had the hardihood to venture within its precincts, even with 
the possibility of finding gold, as an inducement for the venture. 

Still later, after reports of the Revenue Cutter Service and recog¬ 
nizances of army officers and naval commanders, the United States 
Geological Survey sent men into Alaska to investigate its resources; 
the Department of Agriculture tested its capacity for agriculture; the 
Bureau of Education established schools, and introduced reindeer from 
Siberia; the Signal Service began to build telegraph lines and to inspect 
the country as to the availability of its rivers and harbors for navigation, 
and it came to be seen by the Government that Alaska was richer in 
resources by far than had been supposed. This knowledge was not 
common to the public, and emigration into that region was tardy.

ALASKA BUILDING, LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION, ST. LOUIS, 1904. 



























At the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.

While the Alaskan exhibit has afforded important information as to 
the resources of Alaska, it has likewise developed knowledge of the 
extent of the ignorance in the popular mind as to Alaska’s resources, 
for nearly every person who has visited the exhibit has expressed sur¬ 
prise when he has been shown cereals and fruits and vegetables grown 
in that region. It has been a common remark by visitors that thev 
had supposed Alaska was a frigid region containing only glaciers and 
gold. Many visitors at the Alaska building have even betrayed ig¬ 
norance of the fact that Alaska is a possession of the United States. 
A letter was received by the Commissioner in charge of the Alaskan 
exhibit from a collector of postage stamps, requesting that he would 
preserve for him some Alaska postage stamps, his idea being evidently 
that Alaska was a foreign country. When the writer received a reply 
informing him that the postage stamps issued by the United States 
were used by the people of Alaska, since Alaska was a possession of 
the United States, he was probably not more surprised than have been 
thousands of visitors to the Alaska building. 

Thousands, if not millions, of the people of the United States are 
evidently in ignorance of the fact that the territory of Alaska, belong¬ 
ing to the United States, has an area of 329,529,000 acres, and is 
seven times as large as the State of Missouri; that 272,000,000 
acres lie within the temperate zone, and are capable of agricultural 
development; that it has 26,000 miles of seacoast; that thousands 
of miles of this coast are warmed by the Japan currents, rendering 
possible the raising of all cereals, and of all the fruits and vegetables 
grown, in the temperate zone; that Alaska is one of the richest 
gold-producing regions in the world; .that, in fact, all known minerals 
are found there—copper, silver, platinum, tin, lead, zinc—and that coal, 
petroleum and marble are there in great quantities. The same people 
are ignorant of the fact, developed by experts sent into the territory 
by the United States Government, that the salmon fisheries, and the 
cod fisheries, and the halibut fisheries, and the seal fisheries,' and the 
yield of furs throughout the territory are greater than in any other por¬ 
tion of the United States. 

The most reliable authorities may be quoted in support of all 
that is here affirmed as to the resources of Alaska. 

President Roosevelt, who is kept fully advised as to the develop¬ 
ment of this territory, in his last message to the Congress, said: “No 
country has a more valuable possession—in mineral wealth, in fisheries, 
furs, forests, and also in land available for certain kinds of farming 
and stock growing. It is a territory of great size and varied resources 
well fitted to support a large permanent population;” and he asked 


6 


Exhibition of the District of Alaska 

t 

the Congress to enact such legislation as would best further the develop¬ 
ment of that region. 

The Governor of Alaska, who has better opportunities for noting 
the development of the territory than anyone else, since reports come 
to his office from all parts (and one of whose characteristics is, that, 
although an Alaskan enthusiast, he always makes his statements re¬ 
garding it in the positive mood, thereby calling down upon himself 
criticism by the press of Alaska, because he does not use the promoters’ 
superlative in reporting upon Alaska), in his last report to the 
Secretary of the Interior, after noting the operations and output of 
various gold mines in the territory during the year, says: 

‘‘This is surely a wonderful showing. Where on earth is there 
anything to be compared with it? It puts hope and courage in every 
mining man, teaches the prospector that there is no ore too low grade 
for his notice and investigation, and teaches the timid investor that he 
can come to Alaska and engage in the business of mining with con¬ 
fidence.” 

And in regard to copper, he says: 

“There is no doubt but that the Prince of Wales property and the 
Copper River properties will have the greatest influence upon the 
markets of copper.” 

“The locations of marble have been made on Prince of Wales Is¬ 
land, and the quality and grade of the marble are well spoken of.” 

Regarding coal in Alaska, the Governor says: 

“All we hear of the great deposits of coal in the southern coast of 
Alaska, is simply astounding. Alaska bids fair to furnish the whole 
Pacific coast with an abundance of the highest grade of coal for all 
purposes. We hear of semi-anthracite coal as much as twenty-two 
feet in thickness of vein, and some have asserted that they have veins 
which are forty feet in thickness. There.is no doubt, however, that 
the coal is abundant and of very fine quality.” 

Referring to the discovery of petroleum, he says: 

“The greatest interest this year has been centered upon the oil 
fields. There seems to be seepages of oil all the way from Yakutat 
west through the Alaska peninsula, and almost the whole shore line 
there has been staked.” 

The Governor likewise states, without exaggeration, as follows: 

“It is beginning to dawn upon many that Alaska is susceptible of 
very great agricultural possibilities. 

“Hundreds of miles north of Skagway the attempts at gardening 
and farming have been surprisingly successful. Finest vegetables are 
now cultivated at Dawson. Good gardens at Eagle City and at other 


At the Louisiana Purchase Kxposition.

\ 

places along the Yukon are reported. For years successful culture has 
been practiced at Holy Cross Mission, on the Yukon. 

“The great river valleys like Yukon, Tanana and Sopper River, 
embrace cultivable areas large enough for good sized States. 

“The cod fish banks are like the agricultural areas of Alaska, al¬ 
most untouched, and just lying as an immense resource to be taken in 
hand. The measurements of the various banks aggregate many thou¬ 
sands of square miles of fishing ground. The climate of Alaska is 
even better than on the great plains of Wyoming, Montana and some 

paits of JS!ez’ada. In all parts of Alaska there are more hospitable 
zv inters.'' 

Hon. James Wilson, Secretary Department of Agriculture, U. S. 
Government, says: 

“I am fully of the opinion that it is a matter of great and growing 
importance that some arrangements be made for opening Alaska for 
the stock raisers and farmers. The development of Alaska is of much 
importance to the grozvth of the Pacific Northzvest. The entire nation 
will be benefited by it." 

Maj. W. R. Abercrombie, U. S. A., in a report to the Government, 
states: 

“The water is good, the soil fertile, game abundant, all hardy 
grains can be raised along the line of the all-American route. 

“In my experimental garden at Valdez I raised peas, carrots, let¬ 
tuce, radishes and other garden stuff.” 

Col. P. H. Ray, U. S. A., late in command of the Department of 
Alaska, says: 

‘'There are greater resources in Alaska to-day, independent of its 
gold, than in the Pacific Coast States, if the timber is left out. In al¬ 
most all parts of the valley of the Yukon you can ripen oats, wheat and 
all kinds of grain. I have seen blue-joint grass grow two tons to the 
acre, and I have seen 1,400 bushels of potatoes grown on four acres; 
timothy I have seen standing four feet high, and growing wild for 
miles around. 

“Although the United States has owned Alaska for more than 
thirty years, my command but a short time ago cut the first road from 
Yukon River. 

“The resources of Alaska in fish are boundless and greater than 
the North Sea and New Foundland combined. All we want is to settle 
Alaska with people V\^ho will develop all its natural resources, and there 
will be no grander country in any part of the United States. The 
z’alley of the Yukon is richer than the valley of the Missouri."

Exhibition of the District of Alaska 


Mr. Harrington Emerson, in a report to the United States Gov¬ 
ernment, states: 

‘‘Kadiak, on the coast, is in the same latitude as Aberdeen, Scot¬ 
land. Lowest temperature ever recorded at Kadiak, five degrees above 
. zero. Average winter temperature at Kadiak is higher than at M' ash- 
ington, D. C. Lowest temperature ever recorded at Dutch Harbor, nine 
degrees above zero. Dutch Harbor is in the latitude of Liverpool. Sitka 
has not cold enough in winter to supply ice for summer. Alaska is rich 
in minerals, lumber, fisheries, furs, coal. The Japan current of the 
Pacific is warmer and greater than the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic.” 

Mr C. G. Georgeson, Special Agent of the United States Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture for Alaska, says: 

“Alaska has been maligned, abused and totally misunderstood. It 
has already paid for .itself many times over, and still we have scarcely 
begun to realize how enormous the resources are. What the profits to 
the lessees of the sealing privilege have been will probably never be 
made known, but it is interesting to note that the rentals received or due 
the government for the lease of this privilege from 1870 to 1895 
amounted to almost the original cost of the territory. It is reported that 
more than an equal sum has been taken from a single mine near Juneau, 
to say nothing of the millions taken out in other places. 

“There never could be a greater misconception in regard to a geo¬ 
graphical fact than the popular idea that Alaska is a snow-covered 
waste. As a matter of fact, one can travel from one end of the Yukon 
to the other in summer and never see snow. On the contrary, one will 
see a tangle of luxuriant vegetation, large forests and such delicacies as 
wild raspberries, red currants, huckleberries and cranberries in,profu¬ 
sion. In places the grass grows as high as a man’s shoulders. 

“Winter wheat seeded at Rampart, in latitude 65, lived thro^igh 
the winter perfectly under a good covering of snow. Although the tem¬ 
perature fell to 70 degrees below zero, the wheat came out in the spring 
in perfect condition and matured grain by August. 

“At Sitka I have for three years past grown as fine spring wheat 
as one would wish to see, and barley and oats have been grown there 
successfully for four years. These grains have been grown successfully 
at the experimental station at Kenai peninsula, where there are thou¬ 
sands of square miles of land available for farming and grazing.” 

Hon. Dudley C. Wooten, M. C., after a tour through Alaska, 
writes: 

I do not hesitate to declare that in Alaska the United States pos¬ 
sess a storehouse of every form of material wealth that cannot be sur-

passed and hardly equaled by any like area of land and water on the 
face of the globe.” 

‘‘The country has been neglected and misunderstood, its conditions 
have been misrepresented and disparaged, its sturdy pioneers and 
dauntless miners have been unjustly taxed and unnecessarily burdened 
by the Government, and even its territory has been pilfered and its polit¬ 
ical integrity menaced by the aggressions of British greed and the 
ignorance or indifference of American diplomacy. The time has come 
when the facts should he known and justice should be done to that 
splendid country and its enterprising, intrepid, masterful pioneers.” 

Surveyor-General Distin tells of Alaska’s future and its needs as 
follows: 

“The outlook for Alaska generally is hopeful. The prospects in 
Southeastern Alaska are. encouraging. The old developed mines con¬ 
tinue to yield satisfactorily, and development work is being prosecuted 
on many new lodes. Porcupine district is fulfilling its promise as a 
gold producer, and will no doubt be a prosperous region for years to 
come. 

“Transportation facilities are all that is needed to develop the large 
mineral belts in the regions drained by the Copper and Tanana rivers. 
That there are vast deposits of gold and copper in those sections no 
longer admits of a doubt, and indications for the future prosperity of 
those localities are briglit. That those on the ground have faith in it is 
evidenced by the number of surveys of claims for patent which have 
been received in my office. When an all-American railroad through 
these valleys to interior points shall have been constructed, with direct 
steamship connection with Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and San Fran¬ 
cisco, large developments will speedily follow and such great activity 
in all lines of business result as to insure success for such an enterprise.” 


GEOGRAPHY. 

Alaska is located in the extreme northwestern portion of the United 
States, and is bounded on the north by the Arctic Ocean and on the 
west by Bering Strait and on the South by the Pacific Ocean, and on 
the east by the Northwestern Territory. In extent it is about 800 miles 
from its eastern boundary to Bering Strait, and it is about 1,000 
miles from North to South, not including the Aleutian Islands, which 
reach from its southv'esterly portion westward into the Pacific Ocean 
about 1,500 miles. It contains one of the highest mountains on the 
American continent—Mt. McKinley,—one of the largest rivers on the 
continent,—the Yukon,—which is navigable for 2,500 miles, and which 



10 


Exhibition of the District of Alaska 


runs through the center of the territory from East to West, emptying 
into the Bering Sea. Its rivers have numerous tributaries, some of 
which are navigable. The region is mountainous, but contains exten¬ 
sive river valleys of productive soil, which, in their uncultivated state, 
produce excellent grasses and wild fruits and berries in great quanti¬ 
ties. 

CLIMATE. 

The climate of Alaska is nearly as varied as the Atlantic Coast, 
extending from Maine to North Carolina. Southeast Alaska and the 
Aleutian Islands are tempered by the Japan currents flowing from 
West to'East along the vSouthern Coast. North and West of the coast 
range of mountains the climate is healthy, invigorating and dry, and 
on the Yukon, river near the Arctic Circle, the temperature ranges from 
102 in summer to 70 degrees below zero in winter. In Southeast 
Alaska, where the effect of the Japan Currents is felt, the temperature 
is more mild than in other temperate regions of the same latitude. 

POPULATION. 

In the year 1900 the population of Alaska, according to the Census, 
was 63,592, of which number 30,507 were whites and 33,085 were 
natives. Fully 25,000 people spend five or six months in the district 
every year, who are not included in the census of the permanent pop¬ 
ulation. 

PUBLIC LANDS. 

Mineral lands are located in conformity with the General Mining 
Law enacted by Congress in 1872. 

A bill approved March 3, 1903, provides 

“That every person who is qualified under existing laws to make 
homestead entry of the public lands of the United States who has set¬ 
tled upon or vdio shall hereafter settle upon any of the public lands of

stead laws, shall, subject to the provisions and limitations hereof, be 
entitled to enter three hundred and tzventy acres or a less quantity of 
unappropriated public land in said district of Alaska/' 

EDUCATION. 

Alaska is well supplied with schools. The schools in the incor¬ 
porated tov'ns are supported by a liberal license tax. Schools for the 
natives are maintained by various Missions and by the United States, 


At the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.

there beini^ a special appropriation by Congress for .this specific pur¬ 
pose. The white schools are graded and include a number of high 
schools. 

MINING. 

The mineral industry of Alaska is more extensive than any other 
at present, and is steadily increasing. The gold mining industry 
consists mainly of placer mining, but quartz mining is destined to 
become even more important in the future, as it is the history of all 
placer mining regions that gold quartz exists below the surface. 
It is estimated that the gold product of Alaska aggregates about 
$149,000,000.00, most of which has been mined since the year 1888. 
Nome, Council City, Fairbanks, Coldfoot, Rampart, Nizina, Forty 
Mile, have all been centers of interest in placer mining. Hydraulic 
mining is coming more into notice in Alaska each year. There are 
vast areas suitable for this kind of washing. Mining with dredges 
and steam shovels is likewise carried on. Smelters for the mining of 
copper are in operation upon Prince of Wales Island and in the Copper 
River region. The yield of copper on the properties of these places 
is undoubtedly destined to influence the copper market of the world. 
Lead and silver are mined in connection with other ores. Platinum, 
gypsum and marble have been located, and mines and manufacturing 
plants are being organized for their development. The coal mining 
industry is destined to be enormous, but it is only recently that the 
extensive coal mines have been located. 

Lead, zinc and iron are found throughout Southeast Alaska, but 
they have not yet been extensively mined, owing to want of transpor¬ 
tation facilities, which is a great drawback to all mining enterprises. 

Asbestos is found on the mainland, Beadfield Canal, also in 
Kuperanoff Island. 

Marble promises to become an important product of Alaska. Large 
quarries are located on Prince of Wales Island throughout an area 
of 400 acres. Gray marble is found on Hams Island and the main¬ 
land contiguous. It is exceptionally hard and stands a test of 10,000 
pounds to the square inch. 

Coal is found in every section of the territory. In variety it 
comprises lignite, anthracite, bituminous and cannel coal, and the 
principal mines so far discovered are located on navigable streams and 
near the tide water, thus enabling this industry to be placed on a 
favorable footing as a competitor with the coal fields of British 
Columbia. 

Petroleum is found in many locations, but this industry is yet un¬ 
developed.

Exhibition of the District of Alaska 


Oil of superior quality has been found at Kayak and Cook Inlet. 

Stream tin has been found on several streams on Cape Prince of 
Wales in the York Mining- District, but it yet remains to be found 
whether or not this will afford a paying industry. 

Graphite is found in large quantities near Nome, and jade in 
limited quantities in the Cape York Mining District. 

Uranium is found in small quantities in Baranoff Island. 

Platinum is found in small quantities in Cape York District, 

FISHERIES AND CANNING. 

The next most important industry is fishing and canning. Salmon, 
halibut and cod fishing are carried on extensively in fishing season all 
along the Pacific Coast from the eastern extremity of Alaska to Bristol 
Bay near the point on the coast where it turns northward. Numerous 
canneries are established along this coast, one of the principal canneries 
being on Kodiak Island. From 15,000 to 20,000 people are employed 
in these canneries during the canning season. It is an interesting fact 
that the rentals paid by the fishing companies to the United States have 
already paid the United States the amount paid for the territory several 
times over. 

FURS. 

Great quantities of furs are taken in Alaska, embracing furs of 
the Polar bear, black bear, brown bear, black wolf, white, red, blue and 
silver gray foxes; badger, beaver, sables and seals. It is known that 
Alaska has yielded great wealth to this industry, but the extent can not 
be stated with any certainty, as it has been the policy of the fur trader 
to conceal his operations, and the conditions of the trade are such that 
he is able to do so. 

STOCK RAISING AND AGRICULTURE. 

These industries have been begun on a small scale, and they will 
undoubtedly become extensive, as Alaska has millions of acres of 
grasses suitable for stock, and the Department of Agriculture has dem¬ 
onstrated the fact, by experiments, that agriculture is not only possible 
but may be profitable in the valleys south of the Yukon River. 

TRANSPORTATION. 

The greatest need of Alaska is railroads. Its harbors are visited 

waters of the great Yukon, aflfording facilities.for transportation, both 
by the vessels of great steamship companies, and great steamers ply the 

for passengers and freight, and thousands of tourists avail themselves 


At the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. 


13 


of the facilities afforded and the number of such pleasure-seekers is 
increasing' every year. Alaska is beginning to be known as “The 
Switzerland of America.” 

Meanwhile, facilities for transportation into the interior by rail¬ 
roads continues utterly inadequate. The White Pass and Yukon Rail¬ 
road is the longest at present, but there are only thirty miles of this 
line within the limits of Alaska, the other eighty miles running through 
the Canadian Northwest Territory, and the line is owned and controlled 
by Canadian interests. This line forms a connecting link between the 
Pacific Ocean and the head of navigation of the Yukon River. 

The second railroad was built by a mining company and connects 
Nome with the rich mining creeks of that section. It is only eight 
miles long and is a narrow gauge road, but it has paid for itself many 
times over—being invaluable to the miner, enabling him to transport 
machinery to the mines. In 1903, twelve miles of railroad were built 
up Solomon River on the Seward Peninsula, and it is proposed to 
continue this road to Council City and the rich Ophir Mining District 
—giving that region communication with Tide Water. This road will 
open and develop a wonderfully rich region. A railroad has been pro¬ 
jected from Valdez, which lies at,t^'^^ head of one of the largest harbors 
in the Avorld, to Eagle City on the Yukon River. This road, when 
completed, will traverse the rich Copper and Tanana Valleys and pene¬ 
trate the territory of Forty Mile River and through a country not only 
rich in minerals, but in the very heart of the richest agricultural lands. 

A railroad is now being built from Seward on Resurrection Bay to 
a point on the Yukon River near the mouth of the Tanana River. This 
road will likewise open up rich mining and farming lands. It is 
planned to have a hundred miles of this road ready for traffic within 
another year. At Kayak a coal company has built twenty-five miles of 
railroad, which makes possible the development of rich anthracite coal 
mines, connecting them with deep tide water. In this connection it > 
should be mentioned that the Government has constructed telegraph 
lines reaching from Seattle to Nome, the last section of this line having 
been recently completed. 


FORESTRY. ; 

The southeastern part of Alaska, extending as far west as Prince 
William’s Sound, is heavily timbered—in fact, it is so heavily timbered 
(in consequence of the fact of the Japan currents and the rainfall) that 
the forests of Southeast Alaska are like a tropical jungle, and are only 
penetrated when roads are cut through them. The timber consists 
mainly of spruce, hemlock, red cedar, birch and yellow cedar. A num-

her of sawmills have been located in this region. Owing to the lack 
of transportation, this industry is not extensive. It bids fair to be, in 
time, a great and profitable industry. 

GOVERNMENT. 

While Alaska is a territorial possession of the United States, it has 
not yet been accorded a territorial form of government. Its correct 
designation is “The District of Alaska,” A governor and judges and 
marshals and commissioners are appointed by the President. The 
governor is required to make an annual report to the Secretary of the 
Interior, and by means of this report and by reports from the military 
and other departments located in Alaska, the President and Congress 
are kept fully advised as to the development of the District. 


CITIES AND TOWNS. 

VbvLDEz—Located on the southern coast of Alaska, near the mouth 
of the Copper River; is a seaport town, and the proposed terminal of 
the Valdez and Eagle City Railroad. As a seaport town it has a harbor 
which General Greeley says will accommodate the navies of the world. 
It is open at all seasons of the year, and as a railroad terminal Valdez 
will some day imdoubtedlv become a town of the greatest importance. 

Kayak— Has a harbor, and is the terminus of a railroad about com¬ 
pleted to the anthracite coal fields, twenty-five miles distant. This field 
has three veins, 16, 8 and 5 feet thick, respectively. Extensive oil fields 
have recently been developed, and the refinement shows a high grade of 
oil with a paraffine base. 

Seward— Is located at the head of Resurrection Bay, and is the 
terminal of the Alaskan Central Railroad, a projected railroad extend¬ 
ing from Seward to Rampart, opening up an extensive agricultural dis¬ 
trict. Seward, like Valdez, is a seaport town, with a harbor open at all 
seasons of the year. The Alaska Central Railroad is now in course of 
construction, and a portion of the road is already in operation. 

Sitka— The capital of Alaska, is located on Baranoff Island, along 
the southeastern coast of Alaska. It was founded by Governor Bar¬ 
anoff, a Russian explorer, in 1799, and is the oldest town in Alaska. 
The town is noted for its beauty, and boasts of many historic places of 
interest. The climate at Sitka is remarkably mild. Here also may be 
found the famous hot springs, whose waters are noted for their won¬ 
derful medicinal properties. 

St. Mich ales —Is located on an island not far from the mouth of 
the Yukon River, serving principally as a terminal for the Yukon River 



i6 ■ Exhibition of the District of Alaska 

steamers, affording also winter quarters for many of the river steamers. 
Here are also located the large warehouses of the leading trading com¬ 
panies of Alaska. The transfer to ocean steamers is made at this point. 

Sewaru City— Near Berner’s Bay, located between Juneau and 
Skagway, is a new mining town which promises to rival some of the 
older towns along the coast because of the richness of the low grade 
gold ledges recently uncovered in that vicinity, and great amount of ore 
in sight. 

Juneau —The metropolis of Southeastern Alaska, is located at the 
headwaters of the Gastineau Channel, and is one of the oldest cities in 
Alaska. It is a mail distributing center for all points westward, and 
forms a base of supplies for many of the extensive mining operations in 
that vicinity. It is a town supported largely by the mines, but here also 
may be found various industries. The school system of Juneau, like 
that of several other towns in Alaska, compares favorably with the 
larger cities along the coast. Large wholesale and retail establishments 
for the handling of all manner of supplies are located here. One of the 
public buildings of Juneau, recently completed bv the United States 
Government, cost $60,000. 

Treadwell —Is located on Douglas Island, across the channel from 
Juneau; is an incorporated town, with a population of about 1,500. 
Here are located the famous Treadwell gold mines, the largest low 
grade gold mines in the world. The town is strictly a mining town. 
The population is confined to the employes of the mines. Here are 
located large machine and boiler shops, car shops, foundry, sawmill and 
all other industries which help to make and equip a large mining plant. 
Treadwell has an excellent water system, electric light plant, public 
school, etc. 

Douglas— Douglas City is located on Douglas Island, immediately 
adjoining Treadwell, and, like Treadwell is an incorporated town, with 
a population of about 1,500. The city is supported largely bv the 
Treadwell mines, furnishing homes for many of the miners and their 
families. Here is to be found an excellent school system, also a well 
organized fire department, and various other improvements. Juneau, 
Douglas and Treadwell are connected by telephone system, also by a 
ferry, operated hourly. 

Eagle City —Located on the Yukon River and the first town in 
United States territory in coming down the river; contiguous to Seventv 
Mile and American River mining country; is terminus of the projected 
Valdez & Yukon Railroad. Here is located Fort Egbert, a three com- 


At the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. 17 

pany United States Post, where commodious barracks have been 
erected. 

Circle City —Circle City is the supply point for the rich mining 
camp of P)irch Creek and its tributaries. 

Old Fort Yukon— Is where the* mighty river touches the arctic 
circle and turns its course southwest on its way to the sea. Here the 
midnight sun is visible and the river is ten miles wide. Roses and ber¬ 
ries grow in great abundance, and any one inclined to romance can 
gather flowers and berries by the midnight sun. 

Nettles —Nettles is on the Foyukuk River, and at the head of nav¬ 
igation. Fifty miles northward, is the prosperous mining camp of 
Cold Foot. 

Fairbanks— A large mining camp twelve miles from the Xanana 
river; is the supply point for the rich Xanana mining district. Chena 
is the port of entry, and will probably displace Fairbanks as the mining 
town of this district. Xhe present outlook for this country is very 
encouraging at present. 

Nome —Nome is the metropolis of extreme Western Alaska and 
the Seward Peninsula. Placer gold was first discovered here on Anvil 
Creek in 1898, and during the summer of ’99 pay dirt was struck on 
the beach contiguous to Nome, and for sixteen months along the Bering 
Sea Coast thousands worked the auriferous Gold Bearing Sands. In 
the Spring of 1900 such a stampede was never known. Now Nome has 
passed her boom days, and is a good, solid, substantial mining center, 
with interests that radiate to every port of the Seward Peninsula. 

Xeller City —Is located on Grantly Harbor, and is the center of 
a growing placer district. 

Cape Prince of Wales —Is the most westerly point in Alaska, 
and is in the Cape York mining district, where placer gold and stream 
tin are found in limited quantities. 

DeerinCi— Is at the mouth of the Inmachuk River, which flows 
into Kotzebue Sound. It is the most northern town on the Seward 
Peninsula, and is the supply point of rich placer deposits. 

Kilawick— Supplies the Candle Creek section of country. 

Point Barrow —Is the most northern point in Alaska, and here 
is located the most northern postofhce in the world. It is a United 
States Government WXather Observatory and Whaler Relief Station. 

Rampart —Is quite a mining town and supplies a large country. 

Solomon —Is the southern terminus of the Council City and Solo¬ 
mon River R.ailroad. 



i8 Exhibition of the District of Alaska 

Council CiTV--Council City is located on the Niiikluk, and is the 
center of a rich mining country. The most productive of its many 
streams for placer gold is Ophir Creek, which is not equaled by its out¬ 
put of gold by any creek of the Seward Peninsula. 

Ketchikan— The first town reached: is the first United States 
Custom Station. 

Skagway— Situated at the head of Lynn Canal, is the entrepot for 
the Yukon and interior regions of Alaska, and the Southern terminus 
of the Yukon and White Pass Railroad. 

Wrangel— Is a beautiful town, situated on Etolin Bay, about 750 
miles from Seattle, on the direct steamship line; has a moderate climate, 
never reaching above 70 degrees in summer nor going below zero in 
winter. Main industries are Salmon, Halibut and Herring Eisheries, 
and the finest forests of this section of Alaska are contiguous. Six miles 
from Wrangel is the mouth of the Stikan River, which is navigable 150 
miles—fifty miles up stream, however, the boundary line between 
United States and Canada is crossed. The Wrangel mining district 
is noted for its rich quartz bearing ores, principally gold and copper. 
The main land east of Wrangel is rich in silver and lead ores. This 
district also boasts of no less than five distinct varieties of marble, be¬ 
sides the finest deposits of bituminous coal. Near Wrangel the largest 
cauliflower grown in Alaska was produced, and it weighed lok^ pounds, 
and the largest Irish potatoes, 7 pounds and 30 ounces. Most of the 
fresh Halibut used in the United States are caught in the Wrangel 
narrows.

The United States Government could hardly have done more, at 
the present time, for the furtherance of the development of the great 
rich district of Alaska, with its untold wealth in minerals and its great 
possibilities in agriculture, than it has done by securing to the people 
of Alaska an opportunity to display their resources and products to 
the inspection of the millions who have visited the Louisiana Purchase 
Exposition. The exhibits shown by them have excited the utmost 
wonder and surprise in the minds of the many witnessing them, who 
had been in ignorance of the resources of their country, and thousands 
have been led to investigate and to seek further information. The 
effect of the Alaska Exhibit will undoubtedly be far-reaching and per¬ 
manent, nor can it be doubted that Congress will supplement this great 
contribution to Alaska’s welfare in the near future by legislation which 
iShall secure the one great need of Alaska, inland transportation. 

As this catalogue is goirig to press, the Commission is advised 
that thirty-eight medals have been awarded as prizes for exhibits in 
the Alaska Building by the Juries of Awards for the Louisiana Pur¬ 
chase Exposition. 

This is very gratifying to the Commission, and will be a cause of 
pride to all Alaskans. It further confirms all that has been herein 
affirmed as to the satisfactory character of the Alaska Exhibit. It is 
hoped that the list of those to whom awards have been given may be 
received in time to be included herein.

Treadwell Mine Exhibit. 

One of the most impressive and significant exhibits consists of a 
gilded cube about three feet in diameter, representing the size of a block 
of gold worth $7,200,000.00, which is the amount paid by the United 
States to Russia for Alaska, and beside it, enclosed in a brass railing, 
a gilded pyramid of blocks representing the amount of gold taken each 
year since 1882, from the Treadwell mine in Alaska, aggregating 
$21,800,000.00, a sum which is three times the amount paid for Alaska, 
taken from one mine.

Cereals and Grasses. 

The Commission has been very fortunate in securing for the Alaska 
exhibit a very fine collection of samples of grains, raised at the experi¬ 
ment stations in Alaska, consisting of grains in the straw, and threshed 
grains, including wheat, rye, barley and oats. These samples are hand¬ 
somely displayed, some of the grains and straw being tastefully ar¬ 
ranged on the walls, covering a space lo by 40 feet, and the balance 
in a pyramid some to feet high and 8 feet in diameter. The threshed 
grains are displayed in glass jars. The grasses are shown in bales of 
hay. 

These grains and grasses were collected by Prof. C. G. Georgeson, 
special agent for Alaska, in charge of the experimental stations of 
Alaska for the United States Department of Agriclture. This display 
of cereals and grasses is one of the most important, instructive and sur¬ 
prising to visitors of any display in the Alaska building; for it demon¬ 
strates the fact that agriculture is possible in Alaska, and that seekers 
after the treasures of the mines may always feel sure of subsistance. 
Without agriculture Ala.ska would be what it is popularly supposed to 
be, but with agriculture it becomes one of the most attractive and prom¬ 
ising regions for development by the pioneer. 

The following are some of the varieties grown : 

Oats, common, grown in Rampart, Alaska.

In connection with the cereal exhibit is a fine collection of Tundra 
mo^es of the far north, embracing eighteen varieties collected by Mrs. 
O. E. King and Mr. Silver of Nome, Alaska. Conspicuous in this col¬ 
lection is the famous reindeer moss, a beautiful white coraline appear¬ 
ing fungi, very nutritious, which constitutes the principal food of the 
reindeer (and which they can find when needed—even beneath the deep¬ 
est snows clearing away the snow themselves), and which is shown in 
pans of water.

Ethnology. 

Twenty Totem Poles and Two Native Houses arid One War Canoe 

Located About the Alaska Butlding. 

The totem poles in the Alaska Exhibit come from different places 
on Prince of Wales Island and from two different tribes. At an old 
village called Tuxekan four were obtained. These represent the totem, 
or heraldic sign of each family, and the back part of the totem was ex¬ 
cavated to receive the charred bones of friends and ancestors of the 
man who raised it. The Thlingits were in the habit of burning their 
dead, but carefully preserved all the charred embers from the funeral' 
pile. These totem poles were always erected on great occasions, and. 
the bones were usually carefully wrapped in a new blanket and incasedi 
in the back part of the totem. One of the totems, when taken down,. 


46 


Exhibition of the District of Alaska 


had the remains of a child in the butt end of a pole which was in the 
' ground—four feet of it was sawed off and put back in the hole. A 
Thlingit at Klawack, named “Chief Tom,” presented one of the poles 
elaborately carved—it had contained remains also. One of these 
Thlingit poles was given by Yennate, who is now a very old man. He 
said he made it in honor of his mother. This is the one with the big 
raven—the head downward—his mother belonged to the Raven Clan. 
Under this a bear—the brown bear is the totem of the Kokwonton 
tribe. The woman’s husband could be of the Kokwonton tribe, and 
doubtless was. Underneath this bear is an Indian with a cane. This 
represents the brother of the woman, Yennate’s uncle, who was a very 
noted Indian doctor or sorcerer in years gone by. The two faces of 
masks underneath the doctor represent two slaves owned by the doctor. 

The large poles are from the Hydah villages—three were obtained 
from an old village called Sukkwan; one from Klinkwan, two'from 
Onhonklis, south of Howkan, and three were obtained from a place 
southwest side of Prince of Wales called Kasaan. These Hydah carv¬ 
ings are really folk lore stories carved in wood. The Hydahs did not 
burn their dead but buried them, usually in the butt of a great cedar 
tree raised on end; but sometimes the remains were buried at the base 
of a totem pole. In fact, when some of these poles were obtained, the 
remains of two or three persons were found and reinterred. All these 
poles, together with two native houses and a large war canoe, and the 
carvings on the inner posts of the houses, were gratuitously donated by 
the natives. By the aid of the officers and crew of the revenue cutter 
“Rush,” they were dug out and lowered and transported to places 
where they could be shipped on regular steamship lines to Seattle. The 
steamship companies very kindly aided the Alaska Exhibit Commission 
in transporting all •exhibits from Alaska free of cost to Seattle. This 
is the first time that such an exhibition of these curious and interesting- 
works of our Northern tribes has been shown to any considerable mass 
of people.
